There is probably something you are worrying about right now. After all, that’s what we do – we worry. This episode begins with some optimistic news about whatever you are worrying about https://www.huffpost.com/entry/85-of-what-we-worry-about_b_8028368 Advice on success isn’t hard to find. The problem is, there are a lot of different ways to become successful and you have to find out which way works for you. That is why you should listen to my guest Ozan Varol. Ozan has some interesting insight into what will make you more successful in whatever you choose to do it. Ozan is a former rocket scientist, lawyer, and professor and he is author of a book called Awaken Your Genius: Escape Conformity, Ignite Creativity, and Become Extraordinary (https://amzn.to/3Gx4qtl). If you could change any part of your personality, what would it be? Or maybe you are perfect just the way you are. Still, most people have at least one thing about their personality they would change, and the good news is, you can! That’s according to my guest Christian Jarrett a cognitive neuroscientist and author of the book Be Who You Want to Be: Unlocking the Science of Personality Change (https://amzn.to/40Y5BKD). When you want to pitch an idea to someone, perhaps you shouldn’t call it an idea. There is another word that tends to get people to pay more attention to you. Listen and I will tell you what it is.

Full Episode
I'm Anne Foster, host of the feminist women's history comedy podcast, Vulgar History. And every week I share the saga of a woman from history whose story you probably didn't already know and you will never forget after you hear it. Sometimes we reexamine well-known people like Cleopatra or Pocahontas, sharing the truth behind their legends.
Sometimes we look at the scandalous women you'll never find in a history textbook. If you can hear my cat purring, she is often on the podcast as well. Listen to Vulgar History wherever you get your podcasts.
Today on Something You Should Know, some good news for whatever it is you're worrying about right now. Then, some powerful techniques to supercharge your success and creativity.
When we're stuck physically, we often get stuck creatively because our beliefs and perspectives are tied to our environment. So if I'm in a creative rut, if I get writer's block, I move outside of the room where I normally write, which is associated with the same old thought patterns.
Also, why any idea is better if you don't call it an idea. And personality. We all have one, and there's a good chance you'd like to change something about your personality.
In surveys that have been done actually all around the world, it's upwards of 90% of people say there is at least one aspect, one of those big five traits that they would like to change. At least in some ways, most of us would like to change some aspects of ourselves.
All this today on Something You Should Know.
We are Theresa and Nemo and that's why we switched to Shopify.
The platform we used before Shopify needed regular updates, which sometimes led to the shop not working.
